Crawley Town 3-3 QPR RECAP: Reds come from three goals down in dramatic pre-season friendly after club announce latest signing from Tottenham
FULL-TIME: Crawley 3-3 QPR
And breathe. Who said pre-season friendlies were boring?
What a game.
Crawley looked dead and buried at 3-0 after an hour but somehow they managed to draw level and were the likeliest to find a winner.
Stay tuned for all the match reaction and analysis.
(89) So nearly 4-3!
Oteh did well out wide to hold of a challenge before squaring to a trialist on the edge of the area who shoots just wide.
Into injury time.
GOAL! Crawley 3-3 QPR - Manny Adebowale (83)
What a comeback!!
Owen Gallacher started the move with a fantastic pass before Aramide Oteh’s shot was blocked. The ball dropped nicely for Manny Adebowale who placed an inch-perfect shot in the bottom left corner.
Still time for a winner!
GOAL! Crawley 2-3 QPR - Tom Nichols (pen)
He’s not always reliable from the penalty spot but that was confidently done by Nichols, sending the keeper the wrong way.
Game well and truly on!
Penalty to Crawley!
(69) It’s impressive work by the left-wing trialist again as he charges into the box and is brought down before he can shoot.
Definite penalty and the ref points to the spot.
GOAL! Crawley 1-3 QPR - James Tilley (66)
Maybe not game over just yet!
Some hope for Crawley as Tilley gets on the scoresheet with a fine finish after Nadesan’s shot was blocked.
GOAL! Crawley 0-3 QPR - Macauley Bonne (59)
Bonne wasn’t kept out for long. What an impact he has had off the bench.
He gets his brace with a fine finish after a fast counter attack.
That’s probably game over.
(57) Hopefully a confidence boost for Addai as he gets warm applause after a good save to stop Bonne from finding the net again.
(53) One of Crawley’s unnanmed trialist, who is playing on the left wing in the second half, has just had Crawley’s best effort of the game.
He drove into the area at speed and shot into the side netting. Better from Crawley and Betsy will be looking for more of the same.
GOAL! Crawley 0-2 QPR (51) - Macauley Bonne
Corey Addai, who replaced Glenn Morris in goal at half-time, is caught with the ball at his feet and QPR substitute Macauley Bonne finishes well from distance,
Long way back for Crawley now.
(46) We’re back underway for the second-half.
Corey Addai, Harry Ransom and two trialists have come on for Glenn Morris, Dion Conroy, James Balagizi and a trialist.
Half-time: Crawley 0-1 QPR
The refreee blows the half-time whistle.
Crawley are slowly growing into this game and chances will surely come in the second half.
Expect to see a few changes.
(36) Crawley are growing into the game now and winning more midfield battles.
Tom Nichols wants a free kick after he falls to the ground in a heap but the referee waves play on.
(32) A brillaint bit of skill by Nichols starts a rare attack from Crawley down the left hand side but QPR defend it well and the ball ends up back at Morris, after a dodgy backpass which initially wrong-footed the keeper.
